Abstract excerpt
Aurora B kinase (Aurora-B) functions in chromosome segregation and cleavage of polar spindle microtubules. However, its role in cellular senescence remains elusive. Here, we investigated Aurora-B effects on cellular senescence in human fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Aurora-B levels were reduced during replicative senescence and premature senescence by adriamycin. Aurora-B overexpression in old cells partially...
